Notre Dame’s historic ACC debut on Saturday was rewarded with both the league’s Player and Rookie of the Week on Monday.

Eric Atkins earned the ACC’s top player award for the second week in a row for spearheading the Irish’s rally from a 10-point second half deficit to a 79-77 victory against Duke.

Not only did the senior point guard record his first double-double of the season in the game with a team-leading 19 points and 11 assists, he made the tying and go-ahead baskets as part of his team’s 20-4 run to close out the game.

Atkins is averaging 24.5 points and nine assists in his last two games.

His teammate Steve Vasturia is the ACC’s Rookie of the Week. Although the freshman’s nine points and four rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench might not seem all that impressive, they were key in helping Notre Dame fill the void left by star Jerian Grant’s academic problems.

Vasturia’s was especially important from long range, where he made a personal-best three three-pointers on five attempts.
